(Reuters) - A late second-half header from Youssef En-Nesyri earned Sevilla a 1-1 draw at Atletico Madrid on Sunday, securing Julen Lopetegui's side Champions League qualification despite extending their winless run to four games.

With Real Madrid already crowned champions and both Barcelona and Atletico assured of a top-four finish, the pressure was on Sevilla, who had drawn their previous three games.

Yet Sevilla equalised five minutes from fulltime following a mistake by Reinildo Mandava, who gifted the ball to Oliver Torres on the edge of his own area and the former Porto midfielder crossed perfectly for En-Nesyri to score for Sevilla. The Copa del Rey winners, who had already secured a Europa League spot, won 2-0 at home against Granada on Sunday.

They are sixth on 62 points, six ahead of Unai Emery's Villarreal side who could fail to qualify for European competition entirely, after reaching the Champions League semi-finals this season.
